The Care Mobile’s journey is not defined only by numbers, consultations provided, or kilometres travelled.

Each of them has a unique experience and a story that shows why access to quality healthcare closer to home matters so much.

“One of the key goals of Ronald McDonald Māja Latvijā is to bring healthcare services closer to children’s homes.

Our cooperation with Ronald McDonald Māja Latvijā is therefore part of building the children’s healthcare network that has already begun to take shape.”

Parents often lack the time and financial resources needed to give sufficient attention to their children’s health.

That is why the opportunity for children to receive specialist consultations closer to home is so important.”

Parent Testimonials

The experiences shared by parents help us understand what access to the specialist care their children need closer to home means to families. We are grateful to every family that shares its story and helps us improve the work of the Care Mobile.

“Living in a rural area, reaching paediatric specialists remains a major challenge. There are few doctors, waiting lists are long and travelling to Riga is always an additional burden for the family. That is why the opportunity to receive a specialist consultation closer to home is so important to our family.”

“Sometimes a single consultation can change the life of a child and their family. One child’s learning and behavioural difficulties were initially linked to them being emotionally challenged; however, a thorough examination during a Care Mobile visit revealed that the child simply had poor vision. After receiving glasses, both the child’s academic performance and behaviour improved.”

Stories from Our Doctors

Our doctors travel to children in different regions of Latvia, sharing their knowledge, experience and desire to help. Meet our specialists and find out why they have chosen to join us.

“In my consultations, I devote a great deal of attention to educating children and parents about coughing, its causes and situations in which treatment is not necessary. We also discuss four other essential pillars of health: sleep, physical activity, nutrition and emotional well-being. By strengthening these foundations and creating a safe, supportive family environment, we can prevent a range of health problems and help children grow up healthy and confident.”

Dr Līga BerķePaediatrician and Paediatric Pulmonologist

“Every one of us only has two eyes, and we need them for our entire lives. I have always enjoyed working with children, which is why I have been examining and consulting children throughout Latvia with the Care Mobile for ten years. After working with children for so many years, I have learned the most important lesson: when children are loved, providing medical care is not difficult. To this day, I am inspired by children’s eyes that sparkle with joy.”

Dr Marija KrūmiņaOphthalmologist
